  1. Dude, it takes 100s of trips to start to make sense of consciousness. Your first 100 are just a warm-up.
  2. Of course it can go in a circle but that doesn't mean most people traverse the whole circle. And even mapping awakening as a circle is wrong because that is way too linear. There are kinds of awakenings which don't fall on your circle at all.
  3. I never do raw mushrooms. Consuming actual mushrooms is for people who don't know any better. Pure chemical is always superior. And I would never eat it but plug it.
  4. AL-LAD is similar to LSD but lasts less. Basically many of the LSD analogs last shorter than LSD.
  5. Remember: Your life purpose is NOT the same as the medium. Purpose is about the impact you want to have on people, and medium is how you do it. The medium is variable. Be open to employing various mediums to find whichever best enables you to make your desired impact. Do not get attached to the medium. Why are you illustrating? That's the key question. Nothing can destroy your purpose because purpose is about the emotional impact you want to have on others.
  6. I have started to create my future video thumbnails using AI.
  7. Of course. That's exactly what we need and where this is going. To truly create the kind of useful art that we need, AI will need to be given highly details specifications, just like you'd give a human illustrator when hiring him for a job. I want to be able to write a 10-page document explaining exactly the kind of art I need. And then I want to be able to tell it to make fine tweaks until it matches what I want perfectly.
  8. Find a more intelligent way of creating art than being a line-monkey. Rather than being afraid of technology, learn to adopt it quickly and leverage it to do new cutting-edge things which previous artists couldn't dream of. Art must evolve like everything else. Rather than clinging to being an illustrator, turn yourself into an art director. You'll generate way more value for the world.
  9. That's how addicts are.
  10. It was a taste.
  11. You are dreaming. However, consciousness is everything, so you're gonna have to integrate every possible thing you can imagine to realize your true identity as God. Every horror and evil you can imagine, is You. Look upon it and smile knowing it is you.
  12. You are asking questions which you cannot get answers to.
  13. Just honestly observe what you're doing that's causing this. And then stop doing it. Get strict with yourself about how you do game and cut out all the unnecessary bullshit. Optimize your game so it's effective. It's nothing personal.
  14. And how many times has this happened in total?
  15. You are ignorant about how social dyamics work. Free speech has never existed, nor should it ever exist. When you live with others you must moderate what you say.
  16. This is where you are wrong. It is the purest art. I want to be able to create a movie or a video game simply by telling a computer exactly what I want to see and how I want it to work. And in this case, I would be the artist. The artist is the architect of the whole thing, not the monkey who draws the lines. You need to move up one level of abstraction. Go from illustrator to art director. Yes, stock photos for articles will be replaced. The real question is why do you have such a limited definition of art? That's like the bottom of the barrel of the art world. I mean, at that point you might as well be painting McDonalds burger wrappers and calling it art. The fucking Atlantic? Think bigger.
  17. Being able to generate a ton of art quickly is a very positive thing for mankind. This will just open the doors to entire worlds of entertainment. Right now thing like games are so limited because art is so hard and expensive to produce. Ideally an artist would never need to pick up a pencil, but just tell a computer what he wants to see.
  18. Women are very flakey. Most numbers won't pan out. That's nothing personal. You also might just be bad at setting up dates. How many times has this happened? How many phone numbers?
  19. It doesn't die. The future is imaginary.
  20. 1) Creating a proper and usable logo requires a lot more than some random AI image. Random nice images != usable art for commercial applications. Commercial applications require very specific art. 2) And what about cashiers being replaced by self-checkout machines? The bottom line is that if your job can be replaced by a machine, you're not being nearly creative enough. Rather than wishing for the machines to not exist, learn to use the machines to make yourself more creative and valuable.
  21. That's fine. But I almost never read fiction. I got better things to do.
